The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 316 Ma Chao's Death Warrant
"What, Han Sui won't come to see me?"

Inside the central army tent, Ma Chaojun showed anger on his face. He invited Han Sui to discuss important matters, but the other party refused to come to see him. Can he still trust him?

"Did Han Sui really say that?"

Liang Xing suddenly felt uneasy. They were all allies, so why didn't Han Sui show up at this time? Could it be that the other party was colluding with the Cavalry Army?

"He said, he said."

The scout looked hesitant.

"What did that old bastard Han Sui say?" Ma Chao asked with a gloomy face.

"Han Sui said that he had a grudge against the general and did not dare to come to see the general. This time we are together to deal with the Cavalry Army because of the reason that the lips and teeth are cold. When the time comes, we will attack together."

The scout immediately reported Han Sui's words.

"This old man."

After hearing this, Ma Chao slapped the table.

What made everyone curious was that although Ma Chao was angry, he did not fly into a rage, and even had a smile on his face, which made everyone marvel.

"The general doesn't seem angry?" Cheng Yin asked curiously.

"That old man is very scheming. If he had come, I would have suspected that he had colluded with the Cavalry and sold us out together. Now he doesn't come and says that the lips and teeth are cold. I believe what he says. He is a coward."

Ma Chao sneered.

After hearing this, Liang Xing and others looked at Ma Chao. This guy was not a good person either. He was obviously suspicious of the other party, but he also invited the other party to discuss military affairs. If the other party really came, he might really be killed by your sword as Han Sui said.

"Everyone, now that Han Sui is here, we are invincible." Ma Chao looked at everyone proudly and said, "Qin Shou wants to wipe out our troops in one fell swoop, but he will suffer a great loss this time." Ma Chao was in high spirits.

"General, our camp is now in place. Where should Han Sui's troops be placed? Should we move his troops into the camp?" Liang Xing asked.

Ma Chao came to the sand table, looked at the location of Han Sui's army, and frowned slightly.

From the sand table in front of us, we can see that Han Sui's camp is only an arrow's throw away from Liang Xing's camp, neither close nor far away. It is obvious that he is on guard against Liang Xing.

But at the critical moment, the enemy's troops could also support Liang Xing.

This is also in line with Han Sui's personality. He doesn't trust anyone who is cunning. People like him who command a large number of troops and have fought against the enemy before are even less worthy of trust.

If it were a normal day, there would be no problem in supporting each other, but now the opponent is not within their defense range, and it is obviously unreasonable to say that the opponent's camp is set up in the wrong place.

"This old fox really doesn't believe us!
Ma Chao said with a cold snort.

The only thing that reassured him was that Han Sui still favored Xiliang, otherwise his troops would be stationed farther away.

"Forget it, let him be! If his troops join in, we will have to make changes to our camp, and it will be too late now." Ma Chao thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​leading Han Sui's army into the camp.

He knew that Qin Shou was a powerful figure and he could not give the other party any chance, otherwise he would be taken advantage of. This was the case right now. Once there was any change in his camp, a flaw would be exposed. How could Qin Shou let this happen?

Ma Chao followed Qin Shou and was very clear about some of the tactics of the Cavalry Army. He knew that once his side made a move, the enemy cavalry would come and attack, and the large formation he had set up would be of no use to the enemy and would soon be destroyed by the enemy.

In such a crucial battle, Ma Chao did not dare to resort to other means, and did not want to cause the entire line to collapse because of his changes. Moreover, he believed that Han Sui might not join his camp. The factor of distrust had penetrated deep into Han Sui's heart.

He just regretted why he didn't kill Han Sui at the beginning, which led to the current situation.

After hearing what Ma Chao said, Liang Xing and others stopped discussing this matter and instead discussed how to attack the Cavalry Army and resolve the current dilemma.

Although the army can now overwhelm the enemy in terms of numbers, it is still in a passive defensive state.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Ma Chao, waiting for his decision.

Seeing this, Ma Chao was secretly angry. Why didn't he come out? It was impossible to expect these guys in front of him to take the initiative to attack. These people could only be icing on the cake and it was impossible to provide timely assistance. These guys were all waiting for him to charge into battle.

As long as they win, these people will charge forward, otherwise, these guys will definitely be the first to escape.

However, Ma Chao didn't care. He believed that he could defeat the enemy by sweeping away these cavalry.

"General, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived. They are from the Black Armor Camp."

"Those are Xu Huang's troops."

Ma Chao immediately knew who was coming. It was Xu Huang's army. The number of people was not large, only 15,000 soldiers, but they were all elite and would have an extremely unfavorable effect on him at the critical moment.

"General, the Lantian Army is only fifty miles away from us."

At this time, another scout came running over and brought him new news.

Ma Chao quickly came to the sand table, took a black flag and planted it behind his camp.

"Where are Xu Huang's troops?"

Liang Xing was suddenly a little worried. The Lantian camp was full of new recruits who seldom went to the battlefield, but Xu Rong was a veteran who had trained the Lantian soldiers to be extremely strong. It could be seen from the Battle of Weishui that Xu Rong successfully delayed Ma Chao's pace with an army of tens of thousands and held out until Qin Shou's arrival.

Now that the reinforcements had arrived, Xu Rong no longer cared about the casualties and mobilized his troops without hesitation, preparing to join forces with Qin Shou to attack from both the north and the south and devour him.

But things are not that simple.

He asked about Xu Huang's location again and suddenly felt uneasy.

The east, south and north are under siege, and only the west has a glimmer of hope. Is it reliable to join forces with Han Sui's army to deal with Qin Shou?

"Fortunately, Qin Shou only has three armies, otherwise, I would be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it would be difficult to return to Xiliang." Liang Xing smiled bitterly.

"It is better for Mengqi and Yang Yingming to invite Han Sui here, otherwise we will be surrounded now." Cheng Yin said hurriedly.

"But in this move, our initiative is in Han Sui's hands. We are fighting in the front, and whether the other party will ask for help depends on his mood."

Ma Chao didn't know what his mood was at the moment, but he felt that he was not in a good mood. Although he called for help, he also owed Han Sui a favor.

But he still doesn't know it.

Han Sui was his death warrant.
